13. Just to add to kay1864's point, I would say that when (and if)
they come with an offer, you can always ask what the full potential salary of the position would be. If you proved a good employee in the position, what would it max out at? That way you'll know if they are trying to lowball you because you already threw a number out. You'll know the range and you can negotiate from there. Name the reasons why you are the best person for the job and ask for more. Most employers expect you to counter-offer. And then you settle somewhere in the middle. Do the same with benefits. You'll get more and they'll respect you more right off the bat.

My brother once said to me, "you make your own deals." And he's right. You've got to go for what you want. Nobody's gonna hand it to you.

That's just my two cents.
